HBYC will be using the PHRF-JAM handicap ratings, as calculated from PHRF-Lake Erie (LE) Base Ratings, for this year's Robby's Voice Regatta. Please try to get your entry forms in as early as possible, as we want everyone to have the correct handicap rating so this regatta will be fun for all.

If anyone would like to donate something for the raffles please contact Sandy Biesenberger. Some suggestions are gift certificates to local restaurants, their own home made with love Wine or Spirits they distill (Sandy has high expectations for E Dock!) or any other creative ideas are appreciated. Sandy can be contacted at sandrakay.bies@gmail.com or 6143786752 with any questions.

HBYC Member Pete Redfern's daughter, Barbara Redfern, 18, was killed in an auto accident Thursday morning in Ottawa County. Many of you know Pete as an employee of Sandusky Harbor Marina, and you've probably seen him with his daughter on the docks.

HBYC and SHM are collecting donations to help Pete and his family with funeral expenses. Members can donate at the Marina office in Pete's name.

The 2017 Race In The Bay For Stein Hospice is now in the record book. It was a fabulous day for a yacht race. Ten intrepid crews ventured on to Sandusky Bay for the 12 NMi. trip around the bay. The wind was strong out of WNW and kept the competition exciting. Four of the six award winners were first time winners!!!! 42 HBYC Club Members crewed in this race and HBYC raised over $1,000 for Stein Hospice again this year.

One of our power boat members Keith Kreager, who is also a Charter member of the HBYC,invited me to ride along with him to the Classic Wood Boat Show in his Classic 24’ Richardsonon Sunday July 16th at Lakeside Chautauqua. Keith found her submerged in the Cuyahoga River in the winter of 2003. He chopped a hole in the Ice and raised her, took her home, andrestored her. Keith has entered her in numerous classic boat shows. We had a great day at theWood Boat Show looking at the many beautiful wood boats and displays. Check out the photos of our trip by clicking here.
